Most of the kites that have managed to get wet have been small enough to dry in the bathroom, draped over a lengths of PVC pipe.

I have set up a 6 person tent in the living room, though :smilegrin:

I didn't think this was going to be possible but it's the 24m. Sam, I like the idea of the PVC and think I'll make a rack tomorrow. Thanks for the idea!

No problem... I have been toying with the idea of a PVC drying rack for larger stuff.

There's not enough of a straight run in the basement for anything large. And most other areas are open to furry critters who find bridles endlessly fascinatiing. Actually it's just the cats.... for some reason kites of any kind terrify the dog.

If the PVC tubes were sufficiently large enough in diameter, I was thinking that drilling them to prevent wet bands or to promote cross breezes if set up outside in the shade. In either case, something that could be broken down and set up without too much grief.

ATB,
Sam

It's a handful when the wind was up and down. I'm looking forward to a good ESE so it will be buttery smooth and to get some video of it.
